More quotes by Warren G. Harding
There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with the ideals of representative democracy, when one portion of our citizenship turns its activities to private gain amid defensive war while another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying for national preservation.
Warren G. Harding
Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little.

Warren G. Harding
America's present need is not heroics but healing not nostrums but normalcy not revolution but restoration.
Warren G. Harding
I knew that this job would be too much for me.
Warren G. Harding
My once-keen analytical mind has become so dulled by endless hours of baking in the hot sun, thrashing about in tight chimneys, pulling at impossibly heavy loads, freezing my ass off.... so that now my mental state is comparable to that of a Peruvian Indian, well stoked on coca leaves.
Warren G. Harding
I don't know what to do or where to turn in this taxation matter. Somewhere there must be a book that tells all about it, where I could go to straighten it out in my mind. But I don't know where the book is, and maybe I couldn't read it if I found it.
Warren G. Harding
Actually, we're just glorified flagpole sitters.
